Immigration Reform

  Like many other Hispanics and Latinos, I am concerned about the immigration reform. Why you may ask, well because it's something important for us. Having an immigration reform will help the economy like Barrack Obama said in his speech. Not only will it help bring the economy up, but it will help many other Hispanic or Latino students continue with their studies. Because many of us don't have a social or the requirements needed to continue to college, most do not go to college. Our parents being immigrants don't have the opportunity to have a well-paid job to pay for any college fees. Why is that? It is because they don't have a social to work with and get enough money to pay it. 

    Can't these republicans see that it is essential for the economy? I heard once on the news that most of the jobs that help the economy are held by Hispanics or Latinos. Just like that time when Wal-Mart’s sells went down, the news said it was because immigration officers were there and no Hispanics/Latinos went to Wal-Mart. What if every Hispanic/Latino in the US went on a strike for 3 days at least? I'm guessing it would bring the economy down. Of course there are many African Americans and Caucasians working as well, but not as many of us.   

   My second guess of why the republicans do not want to approve it is because they are racist. Maybe not all of the republicans are racist, but the majority is. Why be racist to us if we can help you bring the economy back up? Why can't we all just get along? We are all men and women, no matter the color of our skin or race we are still the same. If racism and discrimination stopped, the economy would rise. Hopefully someone hits all these people in the head with some sense and ends all this racism and discrimination to bring up the economy.
